Security-Enhanced Image Encryption: Combination of S-Boxes and Hyperchaotic Integrated Systems by Renjie Song, Haixia Zhao

“…Further, a hyperchaotic integrated system is constructed by combining the Lorenz system and the Henon system with the hyperchaotic Chen system as the core. A three-step diffusion mechanism is adopted in the encryption process, and the S-boxes obtained from the search of the particle swarm optimization algorithm are fully integrated with the chaotic sequences generated by the hyperchaotic integrated system in the first two steps of diffusion to improve the security and randomness of the encryption algorithm. …”

Unveiling Cytotoxic Bioactive Compounds from <i>Erica carnea</i> L.: Extraction Optimization, Kinetic Modeling, and Biological Activity Assessment by Violeta Jevtovic, Khulood Fahad Saud Alabbosh, Reem Ali Alyami, Maha Raghyan Alshammari, Badriah Alshammari, Pavle Mašković, Jelena Mašković, Jelena Nikolić, Milan Mitić

“…The thermodynamic parameters under transition theory at 50 °C were ∆S* = (−220.22)–(−285.15) J/Kmol, ∆H* = (2.24–23.88) kJ/mol, and ∆G* = (94.34–96.30) kJ/mol, indicating that the extraction of BCs with cytotoxic activity against the three cell lines is an irreversible and endothermic process. In addition to cytotoxic activity, the extracts demonstrated strong antioxidant activity (e.g., DPPH IC₅₀ = 16.55 µg/mL) and antibacterial activity against multiple bacterial strains. …”

Fourier Analysis of CMFD Method in Cylindrical Geometry by WEN Yuchen, HAO Chen, WANG Yizhen

“…Theoretical derivations reveal that the radially increasing mesh size in cylindrical geometries introduces spatially varying optical thicknesses, which destabilize the conventional CMFD iteration process. To address this instability, an optical diffusion CMFD method (odCMFD) strategy was implemented to optimize the original CMFD formulation based on cylindrical geometry. …”

Reading and White Matter Development: A Systematic Review of Neuroplastic Changes in Literacy by Yunus Pınar, Nihat Bayat, Begümhan Yüksel, Yasin Özkara

“…<b>Results:</b> Children with stronger reading abilities consistently showed increased fractional anisotropy (FA) in key white matter pathways, such as the arcuate fasciculus and superior longitudinal fasciculus, supporting phonological processing and reading fluency. Longitudinal data suggest that early exposure to literacy enhances brain flexibility and white matter organization. …”
